Preparation

For syrup:
Bring all ingredients to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup thickens slightly and is reduced to 1 generous cup, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Bake torte until brown on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer torte to rack. Spoon 4 tablespoons syrup over hot torte. Decorate top with walnut halves. Cool completely in pan on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover remaining syrup and torte separately and let stand at room temperature.)

This didn't go over well at my Seder. Most guests didn't like the expressly/cardamom combine. On the plus side it is very moist and raises higher than most Passover cakes. I am going to try adding chocolate and/or cake meal. Might replace the syrup with chocolate liquor.
